Ever worked in a team that just clicked - where everyone had each other’s backs and you felt like you belonged? What if you could create that on purpose? Turns out, you can, and it’s not just about being nice. It’s about leadership, clarity, and knowing what gets in the way.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Emma Clarke - a Kiwi researcher and specialist, currently based in Europe. Emma’s just wrapped up her PhD on leadership, psychological safety, and wellbeing in professional services, and she’s now channeling that research into a new startup. We dive into her key findings, including a practical 3-Factor Model of Psychological Safety, which is incredibly timely.

Whether you’re leading a team or working to shift culture in your organisation, there’s something in this for you.

Boost your wellbeing and make a difference at work: Join ROW - together, we can break burnout culture for good.

What if the key to ending burnout culture is in the stories of those who’ve lived it and come out the other side?

In this powerful episode of the Revolutionaries of Wellbeing podcast, three prominent New Zealand leaders open up about their personal journeys through crisis and recovery.

In this episode, we're joined by:

• Joanna Sinclair, Chief Wellbeing Officer (then National Clinical Lead for Employee Wellbeing) at Te Whatu Ora Health NZ and Consultant Anaesthetist,
• Rob Beard, Owner of Beard Brothers Smallgoods, and
• Matthew Tukaki, Chair of the National Māori Authority

This is a real and honest conversation about the toll of burnout, mental health struggles, and physical challenges on leadership. Our guests share their personal experiences, what helped them recover, and why self-care matters - especially for leaders. We’ll also talk about practical ways to support employees through tough times.

We also touch on suicide in this episode, so if anything feels heavy, please reach out to your trusted people or call a local support helpline. As our guests say, these conversations matter.

Boost your wellbeing and make a difference at work: Join ROW - together, we can break burnout culture for good.

When it comes to wellbeing at work, body image isn’t often (ever?) at the top of the priority list. Yet, it can have a profound impact on how people perceive themselves and their abilities in the workplace.

Our relationship with our bodies doesn't stay at home when we go to work. It comes with us and can affect our confidence, willingness to contribute and speak up, and ultimately, our career growth.

Years of research have linked body image to factors such as self-esteem and mental health. Emerging research has linked it to workplace factors like job satisfaction and social engagement.

In this episode, we’re joined by advocate, speaker, and coach Emma Wright to discuss body image, its impact on work, and some key differences we need to be aware of. We’ll also discuss practical steps organisations can take to support healthy body image discussions and reduce harm, and the steps we can all take to foster a healthy body image for the next generation.

This is an important conversation - and one that’s long overdue.
